Look at your server logs. Are you getting a heap size exceeded or OutOfMemmory exception? This will happen on the local dev server if your upload is large because the dev server keeps the datastore in main memory.
The server will hang for a bit and then you'll get a connection reset. I've had the dev server run out of memory with as little as 10MB of datastore data, since it uses a lot of extra RAM to organize it and store metadata. You can increase the size of the heap using the -Xmx switch.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
